Octavia is in a coma. Vinyl Scratch is devastated and doesn't know what to do. But maybe with a little patience, she can get through the hardest time of her life thus far.

This story does have a little bit of DJ and Octy romance but not much. I know this is probably a weird story, but it popped into my head while hearing 'The Last Night by Skillet'. There are a lot more chapters that I want to write but I am nervous, this is my first published story to a site like this. I hope you like it, please comment and tell me what you think.

This story is a sequel to Accidental Harmony

Several months after moving to Ponyville, Vinyl and Octavia are planning their upcoming wedding. With help from friends like Lyra and Bon-Bon, what could possibly go wrong?

It was a wonderful morning. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and Applejack was snuggling up with her. What more could Rarity want?

How about a shotgun wedding when the rest of the Apples come back early?

After receiving two tickets to Dodge Junction's Founder's Day Festival, Applejack invites Rainbow Dash to join her in what looks to be a great time full of fun, games, rides, food, and more. But hidden behind all this is an opportunity for Applejack to finally tell Dash how she feels about her. Can the farmpony manage to confess between all the excitement?

With Twilight Sparkle still adjusting to life as a princess, Rarity becomes convinced she can help her friend by finding her a special somepony. And when that somepony turns out to be Fluttershy, awkward dates and adorable moments are sure to follow!

For a different take on the same characters, be sure to check out my RariTwiShy story, Our Lady's Courtship.

Twilight has been thrust into a prominent role in equestrian society; a role for which she is woefully unprepared. With her coronation only three weeks away, she must prepare herself to meet the expectations of a nation. Thankfully, her friends are on hoof to provide her with their unwavering support on the run up to this momentous occasion.

However is their help what Twilight really needs? She wants to be a good princess, but is she willing to reinvent her entire personality to do so? Can anypony truly understand what she's going through?

Vinyl Scratch and Octavia get an apartment together, and nothing out of the ordinary happens. Just two ponies, sharing a nice apartment, in the nice city of Manehattan... Okay, just kidding. That all went down the gutter the moment Octavia met the party pony. In reality, there's partying, drunkenness, loud music, explosions, banging your roommate, and more situations that Octavia can't even comprehend. Well, that's the life she had gotten herself into.

Just a weird, little story I'm trying out.

The first time I saw her eyes, they struck a chord within my soul. One that I have never experienced before. It was like I was coming alive for the first time.

But it was only a glimpse, and then she was gone. I am not going to let this go, though. I will discover who she is, why she is here... and why fate almost brought us together.

My name is Octavia, and I will stop at nothing to find her.

"Twilight isn't exactly a social pony." Could win me the Understatement of the Year award.

However, what most ponies don't know is that Octavia, a high-class socialite, isn't exactly much better herself, despite countless rumours about a liason between her and a certain DJ.

Now, drawn back to the upper-classes that she tried so desperately to get away from, can Twilight Sparkle find solace, and companionship, from one of the very socialite ponies of her past that she is so desperate to escape?
